Get Ready For CiderFest NC 2015!

The original, North Carolina, hard cider tasting festival is back for its third year: CiderFest NC 2015 is scheduled for Saturday, November 7th at the WNC Farmer’s Market in Asheville!

CiderFest NC is North Carolina’s premier hard cider tasting event, growing from the initial, humble event to an annual hard-cider tasting blowout! Over twenty hard cider makers attend from all over the region, out of the state, and even a few imported, Spanish ciders will be here. Along with the ciders, CiderFest NC also welcomes local mead makers, food for cider pairings, local arts and craft vendors, and great local bands providing live music to keep your toes a-tappin’ as you tipple!

Come out to sample some great ciders and meads, learn about the history and making of hard cider – including how to make your own, homemade hard cider, delicious cheese samples from local creameries, and a chef’s station where you can enjoy small plate offerings based on cider and fresh apple ingredients.

Music at this year’s CiderFest NC will be provided by local bands and buskers placed here and there throughout the festival. These more intimate, unplugged, acoustic acts will allow festival attendees to enjoy live music at a more freindly level as they wait in line or enjoy their samples.

A full lineup of bands has yet to be finalized – be sure to check the CiderFest NC website for more details as they are added.
